I guess this is covered by the 7.6.2 NOTE. But what is misleading me is the fact that it works exactly as might be expected by not-readers of this note; for example, the template: <x:template match="el"> <x:variable name="match-value"> <x:if test="@attr = 'x'"> <x:value-of select="'value1'"/> </x:if> <x:if test="not(@attr = 'x')"> <x:value-of select="'value2'"/> </x:if> </x:variable> <xsl:template match="{$match-value}"> <xsl:value-of select="foo"/> <!--whole bunch of other complicated stuff--> </xsl:template> </x:template> produces (given the input I previously mentioned), the 2 templates: <xsl:template match="value1"> <xsl:value-of select="foo"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="value2"> <xsl:value-of select="foo"/> </xsl:template> in all of xalan/saxon/xt/oracle xsl. So at least for the non-readers of the note (whose carelessness I am not trying to excuse), the only problem would seem to be getting the right stuff into these 'value1' and 'value2' strings. > > The only way you can achieve the effect you are after (at least, in the way > you are trying to do it) is to write a stylesheet that generates another > stylesheet as output. > Er, how is that different from what I'm doing here?
